Good water river.

A cold northwest wind whistled through.

Even in summer, it still feels a little biting.

The fortress of Komizugawa is located right in the valley mouth, so it is even colder.

Huo Hongye accompanied Wang Xing out of the fortress to patrol, and the group was tired of walking, so they found a sunny place and sat down to rest.

Wang Xing yawned and wanted to take a sip.

The thought that he was on patrol made me hold back again.

Huo Hongye took a kettle from the backpack behind him and handed it to Wang Xing.

Wang Xing took a sip and said in amazement: "It's still warm......"

Huo Hongye grinned and said with a little pride: "The kettles we use are all specially made, heavier than the ones you use, because they are double-layered, and the heat preservation effect is better." ”

Wang Xingba clicked his mouth, took another sip of water, and said with emotion: "Your treatment is good, we have been patrolling for almost three hours, and the water in our kettle has long become cold, and the water in your kettle is still warm." ”

Huo Hongye said seriously: "Your Majesty once said that although cold water is cool to drink, it is not beneficial to the body. Those of us who run outside all year round should pay more attention. Your Majesty understands us, so the craftsmen have specially made this kettle. ”

Wang Xing nodded slowly, "Your Majesty is still so wise...... When the old man was young, he liked to drink cold water, especially the kind of cold water that had just come out of the well.

But when you get old, if you drink that ice water again, your teeth and flowers will be frozen......"

Huo Hongye was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If you always like it, this kettle will be given to you." ”

When Wang Xing heard this, he glared and said, "Is the old man the one who is greedy for your kettle?" If you send it, the old man doesn't want it. The old man believes that one day, His Majesty will give all our soldiers the same kettle. ”

Huo Hongye smiled bitterly and shook his head.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old doll stared at the kettle with some curiosity, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Wang, can you show me?" ”

Wang Xing glared at the little guy, pretending to be very angry and reprimanded: "You dog baby, you are curious about everything." Someday, this curiosity will kill you. ”

Although he was reprimanding the dog, Wang Xing still handed the kettle in his hand to the little guy.

The dog baby rolled up her wide sleeves, carefully took the kettle, and couldn't put it down to play.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh~"

An arrow roared.

The sharp arrow pierced the kettle in the dog's hand and flew into the dog's throat.

With a smile on her face and blood spurting from her throat, the dog fell to the ground.

"Dog Baby ?!!"

Wang Xing shouted heartbreakingly, and pounced on the dog baby.

Huo Hongye quickly grabbed Wang Xing and shouted at the remaining people.

"The Liao people are coming! Come on! ”

"Dog baby!"

Huo Hongye dragged Wang Xing to the fortress.

Wang Xing's eyes widened, and the old tears raised his withered hands to grab the dog baby.

Huo Hongye knew that Wang Xing was sad in his heart.

But he could not let go of the king.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy's arrows killed the dog.

It means that the enemy has pounced on the approach.

In the next moment, it is very likely that even Wang Xing will be pierced by Yi's arrow.

Huo Hongye dragged Wang Xing and ran back, while taking out a whistle from his arms and blowing it vigorously.

When the old guards standing guard on the fortress heard the whistle, they looked over to the location where Huo Hongye and his party were.

Stand tall and see far.

They could clearly see that behind Huo Hongye, Wang Xing and his party, a team of 100 Liao army scouts were advancing rapidly.

"Immediately send someone to pick up Leader Huo, and the rest of the brothers fought back with bed crossbows and shot me to death this group of bitches. Then go to the camp, gather all the brothers, and go up to the fortress walls. ”

General Liu Bi roared out angrily.

Then he looked at the Liao army scouts approaching outside the city with deep eyes.

"The Liao people are here!"

"Puff~"

Arrows fell from the walls of the fortress.

The Liao scouts who were advancing were sniped.

They quickly found a place to hide, and then returned fire with arrows.

In the scout team, there are Liao sharpshooters, constantly harvesting the lives of those patrolling soldiers through arrows.

Huo Hongye was not spared an arrow.

When Huo Hongye dragged Wang Xing to the gate of the fortress, the people who had already answered at the door quickly opened a crack in the gate, and then welcomed Huo Hongye and Wang Xing into the door.

Wait until the two of them go in.

The door was immediately shut.

Entered the fortress.

Huo Hongye let go of Wang Xing's arm with relief.

Wang Xing pounced on the gate like a madman.

"Why did you close the door? The dolls are still outside. ”

"Go to them, they're still dolls!"

“……”

Wang Xing cried and rushed out.

Two old guards stopped him.

Their eyes were also red.

One of the old guards said in a hoarse and low voice: "We saw it clearly on the city wall just now. Except for the two of you, all the others were shot by the Liao army's marksmen. ”

", they're still children......"

Wang Xing screamed.

"Why is it not the old man who died, but their children. The old man's life is not worth a few dollars, and the dog baby is the only seedling in the family. Now that he is dead, how will the old man explain to my old brother when he goes back...... How to explain ......"

Huo Hongye had tears in his eyes, and said to Wang Xing in a heavy voice: "Uncle Wang...... This is the ...... of war"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Wang Xing sat paralyzed on the ground, crying as miserably as a baby in a month.

But the rest of the people couldn't cry like Wang Xing.

After closing the gates of the fortress.

The old guard quickly sealed the entrance of the fortress with sandbags and bluestones.

The scouts of the Liao people, as soon as they appeared, were hundreds.

This shows that the people who came to attack Shuichuan this time were not a small force, and it was very likely that it was a strong army of the Liao people.

After Huo Hongye settled the crying and fainting Wang Xing, he hurriedly followed the other old soldiers to the city wall.

After going to the city.

Looking at the scene outside the city, Huo Hongye gasped.

Outside the fortress, the black pressure pressed a Liao army, slowly approaching the fortress.

"How many Liao people are there?"

Someone asked with a spittle.

Standing in the middle of the city wall, General Liu Bi held the handle of the knife with one arm, and said in a gloomy voice: "About 50,000...... And they are all the elite of the Liao army...... Looking at the banner, it should be the soldiers and horses of the Yelu oblique division......"

After a pause, General Liu Bi said in a deep voice: "Yelu Xian is a famous general of the Liao State who does not belong to Yelu Xiuge, but because he has been fighting with the Jurchens, Goryeo and other places all the year round, his reputation is not obvious. But the soldiers under his command are all veterans of a hundred battles, and their strength cannot be underestimated. ”

Take a look at the old, weak, sick and disabled on the city wall, and then look at the Liao soldiers outside with sound limbs and strong martial arts.

Huo Hongye had a bad feeling in his heart.

Don't be optimistic that there are many people in the Mizukawa Fortress.

However, the combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the Liao army outside.

Once this battle is fought.

I'm afraid it's going to be tragic.

Huo Hongye approached General Liu, frowned and asked, "The enemy is strong, we should hold on and ask for help." ”

General Liu nodded solemnly, "I have already sent a messenger for help...... It's just that...... The Yan Kingdom is now fighting everywhere, and there are probably not many soldiers and horses who can come over to help us......

The closest soldiers and horses to us are the Iron Cavalry and Ranger of Sanshankou......

It's just that they are now being dragged by the Liao people's big array, even if they abandon the Sanshan Pass and come back to help, I'm afraid they will get it three days later. ”

General Liu Bi slowly clenched his fists and said solemnly: "So...... For these three days, we have to ...... on our own."

"Goo...... Can you beat it? ”

A young soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and interjected hesitantly.

"Hahaha...... Are you scared, little guy? What kind of thing are the Liao? It's just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Back then, His Majesty rode out of the Fuxing Pass alone, killing in and out of the Liao army, as if entering a no-man's land.

Therefore, the Liao people have nothing to be afraid of at all.

When you turn back to the Liao people attacking the city, you hide behind Lao Tzu and watch to see how Lao Tzu killed the Liao people. ”

Some old soldiers saw that the soldiers were a little timid, and immediately said words of relief.

The little soldiers listened to the old soldier's words of relief and looked very excited.

"That's right! Kill them. ”

"I want to cut off the heads of the Liao people one by one, string them together, tie them around my waist, and go back to show the neighbors to see who dares to call me a second son......

“……”

The minions bragged excitedly.

It seems that the Liao people are grasshoppers who can easily trample to death.

The old pawns did not debunk the lies of the old pawn who said the comforting words, and they even had smiles on their faces, as if they agreed with what he said.

If you just look closely, you will see that the smiles on the faces of the old soldiers are very stiff.

Obviously, they know that this battle is not optimistic.

When the black-pressed Liao army rushed to the outside of the fortress, the old soldiers on the city wall had already been waiting for it.

No one deliberately commands, these veterans will consciously guard the position they should guard according to the different types of their troops.

Besides.

Behind them, there were also those soldiers who had just entered the battlefield.

After the Liao army arrived at the city, they did not rush to attack the city, but sent a messenger to rush to the front of the two armies.

The messenger carried a small flag on his back and made a circle outside the fortress.

Then he coldly shouted to the old soldiers at the head of the city: "My general has an order, and all those who surrender can be slaves." If it doesn't fall, after the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be left ......."

"Whoosh~"

The Liao army messenger outside the city had not finished speaking.

And the bow of the bed rang out at the head of the city.

The sharp crossbow spear burst out, piercing the Liao messenger and stabbing him and his horse to the ground.

"Phew!"

The old soldier who shot the crossbow took a sip and said to the stunned soldier beside him: "See, one crossbow at a time." How many Liao people come, how many kill. ”

The corners of Xiao Bing's mouth twitched and he whispered, "Uncle Ge...... When my husband taught us to read, he once said that when two armies are at war, they will not be killed. ”

When the old man heard this, the smile on his face stiffened, and he asked Xiao Bing with a dry face, "Did you hear what that Liao man said just now?" ”

The creep nodded heavily.

The old pawn asked again, "Then do you know that Your Majesty once said a word?" ”

The little soldier looked at the old pawn ignorantly.

The old man pursed his lips and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty said that my Han family boy would rather die standing than live on his knees." When you get used to kneeling, your bones will be soft, and if you want to get up again, it will be difficult. ”

After saying this, the old pawn also shouted to the other old pawns in the four states: "Do any of you are willing to kneel to survive?" If you have one, go down now, go to the Liao people on your knees, call them grandpa, and see if they will let you live. ”

"Phew! There has always been only the enemy calling our grandfather's share, how can there be any reason for us to call our grandson grandpa? Wouldn't that mess up the generations? ”

"Since Your Majesty helped me up, my knees have never softened."

"Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths...... Your Majesty won't let us kneel, they're nothing. ”

"What's the use of saying so much, pick up a knife, it's to cut. Who instigates whose grandson. ”

“……”

The old pawns were scolding.

The old soldier who was called Uncle Ge laughed.

He frowned at the soldier behind him and said, "Did you see it?" This is our Han family man, the Han family man of Yan Kingdom. There is only one in the world, and no one kneels.

Therefore, when the Liao people said that, they were not persuading surrender, but provoking.

Damn it! ”

In the distance, General Liu heard the old man's words from a long distance, and he rolled his eyes with a dark face, but he did not blame the old man for making an assertion and shooting the messenger.

In the opinion of General Liu.

These old guys are here to fight again.

If you haven't fought for your life yet, how can you admit it?

As for fighting hard and admitting it again, it really doesn't matter.

Anyway, the head is already off, who cares about anything else.

Moreover, in General Liu Bi's opinion, there is another benefit to the old pawn shooting the messenger of Liao.

That is the way to cut off all the revival veterans in the fortress, so that the cowardly among them have no chance to surrender.

There is only one last battle.

On the fortress of Haoshuichuan, looking at everyone's giggling, in fact, the atmosphere in the secret is extraordinarily solemn.

And outside the fortress of good water.

Yelu sat on the horse's back, watching the messenger being killed, he frowned slightly, "Yang Yansi is worthy of being a generation of heroes, and in just a few years, he has made the people of Yan Kingdom have such arrogance.

If this goes on for a long time, who else can make the people of Yan Kingdom bow their heads......

Unfortunately, all this will be a thing of the past.

The Yan Kingdom will eventually be defeated in the hands of my Liao people.

It all started with this good river. ”

After a few sighs, Yelu glanced at the guards beside him, and coldly ordered, "Pass the order down, siege the city ......"

The guard hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "Do you really want to use that method?" ”

Yelu looked at the guards lightly, and said calmly: "Returning the other way to the other, what better tactics than this?" ”

The guard nodded solemnly and went down to give the order.

Go down with the guard's orders.

The Liao army outside the city subconsciously separated a road.

Then a series of catapults were pushed in front of the two armies.

Seeing this catapult, I felt this familiar routine.

Huo Hongye on the fortress of Haoshuichuan was slightly stunned.

"This ...... It seems that His Majesty used the tactics to attack Youzhou City......"

Huo Hongye muttered to himself.

General Liu Bi was stunned and said: "The Liao people use His Majesty's tactics? ”

Huo Hongye said with a bitter face: "It's easy to use!" Otherwise, why would the Liao people follow suit. ”

General Liu Bi did not experience the war in Youzhou City, when Yang Qi was fighting Youzhou, General Liu Bi was in Gubeikou.

Regarding the war in Youzhou City, he only listened to the explanation, and did not witness it with his own eyes.

Huo Hongye had witnessed that war with his own eyes, and he naturally knew the characteristics of this tactic.

General Liu asked humbly: "How to crack this tactic?" ”

Huo Hongye sighed and said, "Dig a pit......
